Alright I can't really post it here so you'll have to follow this link first:

What you will see if you go there is an installation piece that Camille Utterback created for San Jose, California. There is a camera set up above a plaza, and as people move across it graphical elements tracing their movements are projected on to the side of the City Hall. Different types of interactions between people create different colors and animations on the projection, all combining to create a huge digital painting. At her presentation Ms. Utterback showed several pieces where she was trying to create a digital painting by tracking the movement of people, but this was the first one that was, to me, really successful. A couple of the others were alright, but they just still weren't doing it for me and I was skeptical about whether or not she could ever really accomplish her goal, but this one opened my eyes. Watch the video, it's actually really beautiful.
